Roger Ver's propaganda and market manipulation news site is focusing on its main area of competence: Trashy altcoins with no real world relevance. At least we know now, that Ver is invested in Ethereum, MaidsafeCoin and Ripple. Let's wish him good luck with his "investment", because he will need it.
The problem I see with the alt-coins is that they are always trying to solve a problem that does not exist. Problems like "there aren't enough coins" or "mining fees are too low" or whatever. They are all pale copies of the real breakthrough that bitcoin represents.
The only alt that has maintained some level of respect is litecoin. I can't think of another success from the hundreds of alts now in the wild.
The vast majority of altcoins can not show a proper reason for their existence indeed. The only reason for their release was to make the founders rich via premine scams. There are a few coins with some innovative features, but they still they will never be able to compete with Bitcoin, because Bitcoin has by far the greatest network effect. All the development talent is basically absorbed by Bitcoin. Altcoins serve merely as a testing environment for new features, with the best ones ending up being integrated into Bitcoin, making the corresponding altcoin obsolete.
